[theme-reviewers] removing wptexturize

[Harish]

Hello,

 

I am creating a plugin to add features such as shortcodes, meta boxes.
etc.to my theme. I noticed premium themes use below:

    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );

    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wptexturize' );

 

Is this a good practise? And are there any drawbacks removing the texturize
filter?

 

 

Regards,

Harish
